The Community Solar Challenge 2007-2008 was a huge success with several communities earning free solar panels. The Massachusetts Technology Collaborative also matched tens of thousands of dollars back to communities across the Commonwealth for clean energy programs thanks to members of New England Wind Fund. We are working hard on the Solar Challenge for 2008-2009!

Mayor Menino of Boston and students view solar panels installed at the Boston Arts Academy because of Clean Energy Choice Matching Funds.

Step 1. 150 households or businesses in your town make qualifying contributions to the New England Wind Fund by June 30, 2009.

Result: All the money goes to support clean energy wind turbine projects in New England.

Step 2. The Mass Technology Collaborative (MTC) pays for buying and installing a 2kW solar array for an municipal or school building in your town.

Result: The town saves money on electricity costs, creates fewer greenhouse gases, and helps New England take steps towards energy independence and away from global warming!
